git gud. ur obviously new, it'll get smoother over time
1st to 2nd Gear WTF IS THE SECRET?

I'm the same. I'll start in 1st, but I will never downshift into 1st. I thought it was common knowledge to never downshift into 1st.
It probably depends on your ratios, but I'm not in 1st long either.
Juan Thomas
I usually do the following
>start moving on 1st
>let it rev to about 2500 rpm
>clutch in, shift to second, give a tiny bit of gas if necessary
You'll learn how much you should let it rev and how much gas to give when shifting
And like the poster above said, downshifting to 1st gear is unnecessary, just put to neutral or press the clutch in. Downshifting to second is also often unneeded

Let RPMs drop so they're matched. Also, you need to start applying very light (basically just tapping it in the slightest perceivable amount) as you let the clutch out so the lash isn't felt from decel -> accel.

What do you do to get into the "higher" gears? Is there a special button to press or do you just have a further "clunk" to push through before clutching out?
Ethan Flores
That will just engine brake.
